"Zhao Tingshi, this case is not easy to judge?"

He turned to Chen Fan and said, "Brother Chen is the Fa Cao of the Fu Palace, and he should know the strictness of the law better than ordinary people. The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, won't it be because he has something to do with Fuzhou? ”

After saying that, Gao Jun looked at Chen Fan with a smile, and the essence in his eyes flashed.

Chen Fan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly replied, "Lord Gao is too worried, our prince and the governor of Fuzhou, as princes, have always paid attention to maintaining the majesty of the law, how can they respect the law?" He will not interfere in the Quanzhou case. ”

Gao Jun said, "I think it must be!" Then Jinjiang County doesn't need to worry too much, just judge it according to law and report it to the state and ministry level by level. ”

Liu County Ling of Jinjiang County replied, "Lord Gao, in this case, the lower official has communicated with Zhao Tingshi, although it is a murder case, but the crime is committed by two dogs, and there is nothing ......applicable to the law."

The county order also thought about it, since this case is difficult to decide, then it happened to be raised in person, and under the instructions of the military department and the lord of the Qincha, it also saved the embarrassment of assassinating Zhao Jia.

Chen Fan secretly observed Gao Jun's expression, not knowing what he was going to say next.

This is not a big problem, if he can be interesting, then Liu County's words can also be used as a rhetoric.

The military department doesn't care about the criminal offense, and Lord Qincha only needs to use this as an excuse to say "think about the long term".

It is the responsibility of the state and county to judge the case, and it is completely reasonable for him to do this, even if he gives King Fu a face, there is no trace.

Gao Jun thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that this official should not be deeply involved in this matter......" Chen Fanfang thought in his heart, and it was indeed as I expected. How do you know that Gao Jun turned to ask Zhai Shensheng in the Criminal Department, "I am not very proficient in criminal law, I don't know what Lord Zhai thinks?" ”

Zhai Shensheng knew that Gao Jun would have this sentence sooner or later, so he had already prepared an answer in his heart.

Hearing this, he replied, "Lord Gao, the case is so strange that it is impossible to come up with a novelty and draw up a corresponding clause, and there will be no way to deal with it." The same is true of homicide, which is the worst of the worst cases, and the punishment of the culprit should not be affected for any reason. ”

Zhai Shensheng is in the Criminal Department, but he is a Duguan Langzhong, and he is not in charge of criminal law, but in front of the public, he still has to maintain the majesty of the headquarters, and he pushed back the words of Liu County's order that "there are no applicable clauses".

Gao Jun nodded, "Reasonable." ”

Lord Zhai said again, "Serious laws are only to punish the past and the future." If you don't punish today, you won't quit the day after tomorrow, and if you don't punish it, you won't know what to do. Therefore, in the Datang Law, although there are three clauses involving homicide on the surface, there are actually only two: one is intentional and the other is negligence. And the third one, 'disturbing people in the city and causing death', should be classified as "negligence". ”

Gao Jun was happy, and secretly praised Lord Zhai for his quick response: no one can say that there are few applicable provisions for homicide cases, and there are a few more articles.

He said, "That's right, although the murder case in Huazhou Village seems to be related to dogs, let's not just talk about dogs." Otherwise, next time, no one may dare to hurt people with dogs, but they will have to raise tigers to hurt people! This would be missing the essence of the word 'precept'! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This case was related to King Fu, to say from his heart, when he was threatened by the two guards of King Fu's Mansion, he hesitated in his heart, but with Qincha's attitude, Quanzhou and Jinjiang County no longer had to worry when the case was decided.

Chen Fan said, "The tall man is wise, and this is what he meant to be humble!" When we were at the bridge, the lowly said that he would leave the two people who were not strict with the dogs, and let us hurry. But the crowd was raging, and the two fierce dogs were also left, which delayed the major event of our prince. ”

As soon as the military department Shangshu mentioned that he should not just talk to dogs, he climbed up with him.

Gao Jun snorted, "Lord Chen, don't say it, this official didn't say that the dog is fine!" You just mentioned 'crowd emotion', so let's not sit here and talk about it! Let's go to Huazhou Village quickly! ”

……

After the county order, the assassin and the Fu Wangfu Fa Cao joined the army and left, there was a period of calm by the wooden bridge in Huazhou Village, because everyone heard that the Qin mission had arrived, and the case would always come to light.

But the three officials have been gone for so long and have not returned, and the wife of the deceased Wan Qing is worried that they will protect each other.

When the food arrived, the villagers' lives were hopeful, but the main beam of her and another family collapsed. She pulled her 10-year-old son by her arms, and the family members of the other family grieved and cried incessantly, and finally even the child began to cry.

The person who gave Chen Fan the idea and slandered the people of Quanzhou to intercept the road and eat the dog said at this time, "One hundred and twenty catties of copper, enough for your mother and son to spend the rest of your life, why are you crying!" ”

Just this sentence aroused the anger of the public at once.

There was another commotion on the side of the bridge, and someone shouted, "Look at what bastard he is talking about?" How about we kill him and give his wife a hundred and twenty pounds of copper? ”

The two sides were tense, the dogs barked non-stop, and the officials of Jinjiang County stopped drinking on both sides, for fear of causing chaos. At this time, Qin Cha led the north and south, and the local officials from other places arrived.

The field was immediately cleaned up. Not to mention that the Sanbu Lang of Qincha Monk Book Province arrived, it was the history of Quanzhou Thorn, if it wasn't for the disaster, who could easily see it on weekdays?

As soon as the thirty vigorously armed guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War arrived, they first stood on both sides of the horses, with knives and crossbows in hand, and everyone knew that they could no longer act rashly.

Wan Qing's wife dragged her son and ran over, and she didn't know who was Qincha.

She clearly saw that the central government surrounded by all the officials was a young official, not even thirty years old. Beside him sat a beautiful lady on a fiery red horse with black hooves, but she decided that it was not him.

She thought that an official in the crowd who was about fifty years old was dignified, and thought that he was a chincha, so she stepped forward and cried, "Lord Qincha, you must be the master of the little woman and avenge my husband!" ”

This person is none other than Zhai Shensheng, the official of the Criminal Department, who listened to her words and hurriedly said, "You admit that this lady is wrong, Lord Qincha is this one, don't you come to see Lord Gao and Mrs. Liu soon!" ”

Only then did the woman recognize it, she couldn't be surprised, and recognized that the woman was easy to speak, so she turned to Liu Yuru and cried, "Mrs. Liu, you have pity on our orphans and widows!" ”

Liu Yuru comforted, "Sister, don't worry, every adult here today is a well-known and fair official in Chang'an, you don't have to be impatient, and listen to the judgments of the adults." ”

Gao Jun said, "Liu County Order, you will be promoted here!" There must be one one, two two and two truthfully judged! The law is as big as the sky, and the county order is the parents, you don't have to worry about what the Qin is different, the Qin is not as big as the sky! ”

Liu Xianling had already heard it very clearly, and Qin Cha was reassuring himself. Gao Jun is talking about himself, but the implication is: You only have to try the case, and you don't have to think about what the Fu King is.

At that time, some officials came up and stood on both sides, and someone brought a table from the village to be the magistrate's chair, and a dwarf Dengziquan was the chair of the county magistrate, and the other officials present were counted as one, and could only sit on the horse.

Liu County Commander knows that today is different from the past, and the case must be judged accurately and quickly, otherwise only he, a small county magistrate, will sit and delay for a while, and he will be uncomfortable for a while.

There were clerks in the county, who squatted down on the other side of the dinner table, put pen and ink away, and the trial began.

The two guards of the Fuwang Mansion, who had made the most trouble a moment ago, also lowered their heads at this time, because they saw that Lord Facao Chen Fan was huddled in the most inconspicuous corner opposite at this time.

Liu County ordered, "Which two vicious dogs killed people?" ”

Some villagers pointed their fingers and said, "Those two!! ”

Liu Xianling asked, "I have inspected the dog cage for this official to see if there are any traces of snatching out of the door." ”

A servant ran forward, stood outside the cage and looked at it, and replied, "Lord Hui, the cage door is intact, the chain is intact, no one unchains open the cage, and the dog will definitely not run out by itself." The scribes recorded them one by one.

Liu Xianling asked, "Who is responsible for the care?" Who opened the cage door? ”

The guard who gave Chen Fan a crooked idea had to stand up and replied, "Lord County Commander, it's me." ”

Chen Fan said in a low voice, "He is Chen Xiao." ”

Chen Xiao distinguished for himself, "Because these two fighting dogs are the most valuable, I think they are hungry and pitiful...... But as Master Fa Cao Chen said first, he won't sell his donkey if he pays ten yuan to buy him, and I think that as long as the donkey is bitten, he will have to sell it......"

"Can anyone instruct me?"

The man looked at Chen Fan, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, one person does things and one person does things, and no one instructs." ”

The county magistrate didn't wake up today, so he had to slap the dinner table and shout, "Bold fanatics, if people don't sell you, you dare to make such a plan!" It's worse than a robbery! I don't judge you today how to obey the public! ”

Chen Xiaozai defended, "But if they hadn't raised a stick to hit the dog, they wouldn't have developed to this point, my lord, you must take it into account when making a judgment." ”

Liu Xianling didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, and sentenced, "On September 21, the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Chen Xiao, the guard of the Fuzhou Governor's Mansion, transported dogs into Beijing, passing through Qingyuan County, Quanzhou, and Huazhou Village, Jinjiang County. Because the bridge was broken and blocked, the dog was hungry and barked, Chen Xiao couldn't buy a donkey to feed the dog, and let the dog eat the donkey......"

Chen Xiao said in a loud voice, "My lord! Why don't you say what I just said? Ten donkeys can prove that our Fuwang Mansion has not treated the seller badly,"

Liu Xianling shouted, "Shut up, if you dare to disturb the court, you will not be spared!" ”

He then said, "...... Let the dog eat the donkey, and want to hurt first and then buy it, but the vicious dog is stubborn, forcing the donkey owner Wanqing and the villagers to fall into the river and die......"

Chen Xiao shouted again, "My lord! Wan Qing and the villager swung a stick and hit the dog, causing the dog to be furious, why didn't you talk about it? Otherwise, why would someone die?! ”

Liu Xianling shouted, "Good thief! has roared in court several times, and it is really difficult to convince the public if you don't kill your majesty. Come and give him thirty slaps to see if he is still arrogant. ”

The official had a fighting momentum, ran over and grabbed Chen Xiaoyi and beat him hard, and the people around him shouted, "If you fight well, he will be worse than a dog, and he will first come up with an idea to defile our Quanzhou!" ”

The county order continued, "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, those who commit suicide due to negligence shall be punished by the intentional homicide clause minus one degree." Chen Xiao was so negligent that two people died, and he should be sent to serve for 3,000 miles and live for six years and not be allowed to return to his hometown."

At this point, Liu Xianling heard Mrs. Liu muttering behind him, "Two lives, how can you be sentenced so lightly, look at how pitiful these orphans and widows are!" ”

Gao Jun said in a low voice, "Madame, don't say much, otherwise you will be judged by the roaring court, and it will be inconvenient for me to speak." ”

Liu Yuru said, "I only whisper to you, how can I roar!" The dogs were just howling at this point. ”

Liu County Ling said loudly, "I should have been sent 3,000 miles to serve and lived for six years, and I was not allowed to return home." However, the offender knew that the fierce dog was untamed and still insisted on releasing it, so he deliberately went first and was negligent later, and as a royal official, he knew the law and violated the law, and he despised the public court several times, and if he did not kill the people, he was sentenced to be hanged! ”

Chen Xiao sat paralyzed on the ground, as if his spine was twitching, and he was already stupid. A Jinjiang County official rushed over, and as soon as he mentioned Chen Xiao, he left, and Chen Xiao forgot to shout.

Chen Fan was shocked inexplicably, it seems that Jinjiang County doesn't look at King Fu's face at all, at this time he came back and said, "Lord Qincha, the errand of Xiaguan's trip is a special dog and a special person, if the person is temporarily replaced, Xiaguan is worried that these two dogs will not eat...... Can you let Chen Xiaodai sin and escort these two fighting dogs into Beijing first? When the mission of the prince is completed, the lower officials will definitely take him to Jinjiang County......"

Gao Jun said with a smile, "I haven't mentioned the dog yet, Master Chen is not in a hurry." ”

The villagers shouted in unison with pickaxes on the periphery, "Kill the vicious dogs, kill the vicious dogs!" The two dogs pounced in the cage again and barked wildly, and the shaking leash rattled.

Liu County Ling couldn't help but look back, not knowing what to do with these two dogs.

Gao Jun said, "People must be punished, dogs must also be punished,"

Chen Fan stopped in fear, "Don't, adult! These two dogs are almost worth more than half a car dog! If you really want to kill it, it's not good for the lower officials to deal with King Fu! ”

The military department Shangshu said to him immediately, "Lord Chen said that it was bad, this official has always heard that King Fu's laws are very strict, and he never bullies the people with his strength, don't you say this, isn't it smearing King Fu's face?!" ”

Chen Fan was speechless when he heard this, unable to respond.

I only heard Qin Cha say, "Come on, bring that donkey over, let the official and all the adults and villagers see how hateful these two dogs are!" ”

When the Qin sent the order, it was not the turn of those officials to do it.

The guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department immediately led the donkey from the bridge, "Lord Gao, what should you do next?" The guard asked.

"Open the two dog cages to the official again! This official wants to let all the adults and villagers see if the Liu County Order has wronged them. After the cage, if the two dogs dare to pounce and devour the donkey again, they will be killed with sticks! ”

Four of the guards stood out, each of whom took the shovel handle and pickaxe in the hands of the villagers, and stood in front of the cage with the direction, and someone went over to open the cage and untie the chain.

As soon as one of the tall black dogs was released, it pounced on it with a chain around its neck, and went straight to the donkey, which no longer barked, but ran to the donkey with its teeth wide open, and jumped high into the air.

A sturdy guard of Shangshufu was quick and quick-eyed, and hit the dog with a volley, and hit the dog's head with a "poof"! The vicious dog rolled back, rolled on the ground, and immediately pounced on the guards.

Someone outside the venue exclaimed, as if reproducing the scene of thousands of people in distress. Everything is understood!

How dare the other three guards let it have a chance, the nearest one looked at the dog in front of him, and then swung a stick, accurately hitting the front leg of the vicious dog, and everyone only heard a "click" in their ears, and the dog's leg was broken!

But it hissed and struggled,
